Vancouver Street Dance Festival (VSDF) is back from hiatus for our 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! We are the largest outdoor street dance festival in the Pacific Northwest & Canada! VSDF is a family-friendly all-day (and all weekend) dance festival where we feature the top 4 semi-finalist competitors from our highlighted 6 street dance styles (breaking, hip hop, house, locking, popping, waacking). Competitors from all over and judged by our special international judges skilled and well-recognized in the respective dance style. This year, we are featuring the youth all-style semi-finalist battles for youth 12 years old and under on top of our kids' studio dance battle. The semi-finalists are decided by a preliminary battle that takes place in the days leading up to the main festival day.
